Upcoming events
Six Inches of Soil Film Night! 🍿
Get ready for a film night in celebration of soil, food and farming! All the things we love
Monday 8 April
Tivoli Cinema, Cambridge
The new grassroots UK documentary, Six Inches of Soil, tells the inspiring story of three young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.
Thanks to Quorum Sense, we’re hosting a special screening in Cambridge open to everyone! We’ve literally hired the whole cinema. This is an opportunity to get everyone excited about soil 🪱.
Filmed over three years, this story of courage, vision and hope follows three new farmers on the first year of their regenerative agriculture journey - Anna Jackson, a Lincolnshire 11th generation arable and sheep farmer; Adrienne Gordon, a Cambridgeshire small-scale vegetable farmer; and Ben Thomas, who rears pasture fed beef cattle in Cornwall.
Screening starts at 6.30pm, film runs for 90mins and will finish with a short discussion with local farmers/growers. Tickets $20pp, with proceeds going to Quorum Sense to continue their work supporting farmer -led learning around regenerative and biological farming practices. Suitable for all ages.
